Abstract
Studies on recovery of molybdenum from commercial grade molybdenite using the technique of fluidized bed chlorination in the presence of oxygen are presented. Molybdenum recovery above 99 pct at a chlorine utilization efficiency of 84 pct has been achieved for a fluidizing gas flow-rate of 3 L/min of the gases Cl2, O2, and N2 mixed in the proportion of 2∶5∶23, respectively, at 300 °C. The investigations on kinetics showed that the overall oxychlorination reaction is controlled by chemical reaction and is of first order with respect to particle surface area.
